So humanity is the same everywhere. Panic hoarding starts, causes a shelf to empty, then means people feel they’ll then miss out then grab as soon as the shelf restocked. The trick is to stop hoarding right at the very start.
Or not be a money-making sell-til-gone business.
Correct, the hoarding was eventually controlled, after the shops made their profits, 2 per customer type, enough to last week+ so you can shop infrequently, and as very few people actually ill, the food production and distribution not really affected, supplies build up, aided by the hoarder running of out places to store their hoard.
The actual trickiest time is yet to come, as the people who produce goods then get ill, actual supply side issues, not the demand side issues of recent past, will cause a real issue. The answer is of course there in history. Socialism. Ration, and force people to work in roles to serve the community. Just might take a while for that method from history to be remembered invented.
There’s plenty of healthy, keep your distance, work the young can be doing in a nearby field. This is a photo from the future, someone picking the cabbages they planted in April after the last frost.
and a Nebula for the box sets.
